Check it at the back of the engine behind the distributor.

That will let you determine if your gage is
telling you the correct info.
I have run an oil filter like that before.
The orifices will affect the pressure.
After you check the oil pressure I would clean the filter.
That would be my approach.
You could clean the filter first.

will do, but the gage is a mechanical and was reading 30 psi the day before.
